Is there any reason why this isn’t a choice at least for the DIY configurations? Otherwise seems a bit wasteful and against the ethos of the company.

It's ultimately inventory costs and supply chain complexity to manage a larger number of laptop SKUs (CPU options * DIY/pre-built * keyboard options * any other configurable variable). We're a small team, so when there are areas of the product we can condense into having one default configuration, we take those efficiencies, while still enabling an "escape valve" through the Marketplace.

Thanks, that makes sense. Definitely rooting for you and will be ordering a 16 when I can!
